By 2050 the worlds population is expected to reach 10 billion. In the sametime industrial activity will increase by at least three times. Whetherconsidering the use of hydrogen fuel cells or continuing with current energytechniques nuclear power is the only sustainable energy option available forlargescale development to help meet future energy needs with minimal affect tothe environment. This realization has sparked renewed interested in this methodof energy generation.Sustainable Nuclear Power addresses the safety and disposal issues that haveplagued the development of the nuclear power industry for almost two decadesand evaluates modern advances. This book brings together the experience of twoactive and experienced engineers to present the technical side of nuclear poweras a safe abundant and sustainable energy source which should be utilized tofulfill our energy needs. Explores the origins of nuclear power in relation to sustainability Provides easy access to concise comparisons of traditional and contemporaryenergy options Presents alternative solutions to the reliance on imported petroleum «
